I think Stanford has a very sharp stadium for its size.  It could use a more sizable pressbox (and where are the suites?), but a two tiered stadium that goes 360 degrees and holds fewer than 50k is pretty hot to me.

the problem with stanford's stadium is all their games are too late at night so nobody ever sees it on tv

I get that and appreciate it, but don't we have a thread for laughing at other stadiums thread?

I'd be cool with going the Stanford route if they ever decide  to redo the east side upper deck. Aluminum instead of concrete, obviously saves a ton of cash.

Bored as crap at work and was just thinking what could be done to the stadium to cut capacity when we're in the Mountain West, and this is one thing that I got.

Fill in the NW corner deck cause no one will want to party with us being in the MWC, build the south the same seating style/incline as the north/NW, but continue the open section all the way across with field level suites like cowboys stadium (view professional rendo, just imagine it on the south). Would cut capacity quite a bit, but add some symmetry, revenue generating areas, and lots of concourse room for things.

Cowboys suites for reference:

Now describe how that'll built as inexpensive as possible without looking like complete crap. Gotta get bang for our buck. TIA

I honestly don't get how people go for those dugout suites at Jerry World.  There's nothing worse than a ground level viewing angle and you can't see through all the people standing on the sidelines anyway.

A lot of suite-goers either don't care about the game or just watch it on the little tvs in the suite.

Those cowboys field suites are a touch subject among CLink tour guides.

We made out pretty well - my local college is spending $268 million and they are just now going to have acceptable concourses/bathrooms.

I count two people actually watching the game in that pic, they're all socializing/on their cellulars.. which is exactly what I would be doing in the CaseIH suite during an October confy showdown with San Jose State.

Stanford has no where near the high end amenities BSFS has, otherwise you may have made a decent point . . . for once, KC.

When my mom was in town a few weeks ago she got on the topic about how she is doing a lot of work at/with stanford right now and how she liked the campus. I told her it looks like a taco bell and she really enjoyed that and said she was going to tell her colleagues the same.
